Its eyes glowed a sickly yellow, slit pupils locking onto Amon instantly.Its mouth opened wide, revealing rows of curved fangs dripping with venom.
It was a huge snake-type monster.
Amon's heart slammed against his ribs. 'So that's where you were hiding.'
Now he understood why there were no monsters near the river. It must be this monster's territory.
The monster hissed violently, its long body coiling as it struck. Too fast. Amon barely had time to react. He twisted his body and leaped sideways.
CRASH!
The serpent's massive head smashed into the ground where Amon had been standing just a moment ago, sending dirt, stones, and broken roots flying. The impact left a shallow crater in the soil.
Amon skidded back, boots scraping against the ground. His eyes widened slightly. 'That power…'
This wasn't some weak forest monster.
"Fuck! This is–"
"HSSSS–!!"
The serpent pulled its head back and struck again, faster than before.
